chapter 6

Captain America stood alone on the desolate beach, the wind whipping his cape as he watched the remnants of Rick's portal fade away. He felt a pang of anger, frustration, and, oddly enough, a flicker of fear. He had encountered beings of immense power before, but never someone who wielded chaos with such casual disregard.

The Rick-inator 5000 loomed behind him, a monument to Rick's twisted genius and reckless abandon. Captain America knew he couldn't leave it here, a potential weapon in the wrong hands. But what could he do with it? He wasn't an engineer, and even if he were, he doubted he could understand the alien technology that powered the machine.

A voice echoed in his mind, a familiar, reassuring voice. "Tony," he whispered. "Tony Stark. He'll know what to do."

With a renewed sense of purpose, Captain America climbed back into the cockpit and took the controls. He piloted the Rick-inator 5000 back towards New York City, his thoughts racing. How would he explain this bizarre encounter to Tony? And what would Tony make of Rick Sanchez, a man who seemed to defy all logic and reason?

As the city skyline came into view, Captain America noticed a cluster of flashing lights in the distance. He descended towards the source, landing the Rick-inator 5000 in a deserted warehouse district.

A figure emerged from the shadows, clad in a sleek, metallic suit. It was Iron Man, his faceplate glowing with an inquisitive light.

"Well, well, well," Tony Stark said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What have we here? A new toy?"

Captain America stepped out of the cockpit, a grim expression on his face. "Tony, we need to talk."

He recounted his encounter with Rick, detailing the scientist's reckless actions and the terrifying threat of the multiverse disruptor. Iron Man listened intently, his expression growing more serious with each passing word.

"So, this Rick guy is basically a walking, talking disaster," Tony concluded. "And he's got a weapon that could destroy the universe."

Captain America nodded. "We need to find a way to neutralize him, before he does any more damage."

Iron Man stroked his goatee, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I'll get my team on it right away," he said. "We'll track down this Sanchez guy and figure out a way to stop him."

He paused, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes. "But first," he said, "I wanna take this bad boy for a spin."

Captain America rolled his eyes, but a small smile tugged at his lips. "Just try not to blow up any buildings, Tony," he said.

Iron Man grinned, climbing into the Rick-inator 5000. "Don't worry, Cap," he replied. "I'll be careful."

And with a roar of the engine, the Rick-inator 5000 took to the skies once again, this time with Iron Man at the helm. A new chapter in the saga of Rick Sanchez and the Marvel Universe had begun.
